Measurment of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (bdoc) in lake water with a bioreactor

摘要

Onece-through, plug-flow bioreactors were colonised and maintained with a microbial community from a mesotrophic lake and used to measure the concentration of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC). A BDOC measurement can be done within 3-4 h by this method. Glucose was used to test whether oxygen consumption (BOD) could substitute for measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC).
